Forty Years Is Not Long

in the electoral cycle. If you don't believe me
then measure the distance from Ronald Reagan,
B movie actor, crony of McCarthy, a very minor wit,
and a good man to deliver speeches he could never write
to Donald Trump, heir to a building empire, reality TV star
and a man who openly lives in a world driven by social media
who is never short of fresh stunts to stunt peoples attention span.

But, like the people who's attention he is always reducing,
what he lacks is any real interest in the effects of his actions.
